It's nice to see these guys turn their lives around. My ex-husband had a chance to turn his life around with a program in the bay area. He chose jail over and over again. Listening to Richard; I now that it can be done if you want it bad enough. I recently signed up for a 5k race raising money for "Homeboys".

Some ppl wont ever understand because they arent intelligent enough but this is on some grown shit.

Baby Jokes the Rapper,the Gangster has evolved into A respected successful Man He grew up... and is an Intelligent actor he is no longer dreaming He is Living his Dream, G'z that are still in the hood can learn a thing or two from Richard.

I honor rich. I love how what he’s become

Listening to him brings back my childhood memories living in a varrio growing up with nothing and still trying to change my life and provide for my family. My love and respect keep doing your thang

I FUCKIN LOVE THIS SPEECH...HE IS AN AMAZING WRITER...

Mad respect to this Homeboy for speaking Real facts long live Mexicanos Chicanos & All my Latinos Animo compadre🙏🏾God bless

Thank you for walking us thru this chamber of your heart and soul I felt every part of it 🙏🏼

I loved the speech became a poem. love it!

If life was as simple as a poem, It’s beautiful how he can express the truth in words, Good Or Bad’

I stumbled upon Richard’s interview with Jon Bernthal on Real Ones, via Shia La Beouf’s interview on the same talk show, and I’m in awe of Richard’s Cabral’s delivery. A natural actor and speaker, borne out of adversity. It’s amazing to hear these stories of triumph from the brink of complete disaster. Really enjoyed your testimony Richard! Keep it going my man 🙏🏼

Firme carnal making our Gente look 👌💯🔥👏👊

“Becoming a gangbanger becomes a given , they have been in our streets for generations.so it’s no out of the ordinary for us is hereditary . Not a choice a necessity a place of protection a place to be somebody a place to get something in a world of NOTHING” Richard Cabral

Wow he's words are very powerful what a good inspiration to the youth that think gang life is gonna get you anywhere and for the ones that lived that life style for too long that they can seem to dig them self out of that hole there in this should be a wake up call for you and see that there could be a better life after the gang life anyone that bashes on this man and call him a sellout,pussy or whatever you should be ashamed anyone that puts his wisdom Down is because there living in there own personal hell still and needs to wake up and stop hating on your own people be happy be proud that chicanos ex gang members are changing there lives not only are they doing it for selfs there making us look better then what America thinks of us already!!

que dios perdona 🎉

Orale holmes! The night rider, smoking glass with a bic lighter!

Damn Coco this hit the old ticker lol

Wsup 2 the homies from Montebello

This is beautiful poetry. But the harsh reality of it is. We are not victims. If any of you all survived this lifestyle. Perrito wow wow. We are warriors. And survivors. So don’t take this poetry as truth of your own. We all have our own truth. Cause some of us who aren’t as emotional actually come up and succeed and make money and laugh at all the adversity we went through. Thank god for being an immigrant with immigrant parents and thank god for living a life that our forefathers wished for many many years ago

simon

Amen please can you please call y back I need you and our family God bless you and all 🙏😎

lee ican, its a poem, not a speech, when you read poems you don't read them like a speech. but has this been a speech, yes, I would agree with you.

Man I should be an actor..ineeda get out this feds watching me 6 months out from doing 9

Lifes a trip...Chino Grande talks about how one of his homies fell off the team (CRC) and told his dispensa G I gotta go and do my own thing otherwise ima be stuck and fucked just like you... idk if he was referring to baby jokes but the shoe fits...

This dude was on an sny yard...

cant believe this is baby jokes..

The transformation of this man is almost scary. ha Nevertheless good for him tho.

el transformer

Specify the goal and need money

🔐🔏✒️🗄️📁🪅

War is coming and when it does the good guy will need people like me, cuz people like me are rare. Now your right about one thing up until now I haven't done much to make a difference but my time is coming MY TIME IS COMING and If i die now the world may be loosing the next Che Guevara, the next Malcolm x and shit haha I would hate for the world to suffer such a devastating loss

i seen someone that looks like that in long beach cali and i tried selling him my pipe lol (x

he still had his gangsta attitude at this time. lol this was the beginning of his transformation

With the chin to the side..

If this organization wasn’t tied to religion I think more people would step in the door. It’s like they have to impose their dogma on others who need help and don’t Believe in god.

The definition of a great man not actor.

THIS IS WACKEED REALLY WEAK STAY REAL N TRUE TO THE BLUE N WHEN U BLEED THAT BLU
